Re: making dots in pattern 17 smaller

Hi Mark,
I'm seeing the same thing you are seeing with respect to the dot sizes.
I typically use a value of .0015 or .0020, but changed it to .0002 and I
don't believe it got any smaller. I was able to easily change the
density though with cnFillScaleF. (~0.5 gets them quite close to one
another for a panel plot of mine.)

A NCL developer will have to chime in on where the minimum value of
cnFillDotSizeF is (assuming we are correct), and if there is a way
around it.. Best regards, Adam
